General People's Congress of Yemen

The General People's Congress (GPC) is a big tent political party in Yemen, founded in 1982 by Ali Abdullah Saleh. The party sought to represent all political interests and to push for Arab nationalism, emerging as the largest party in Yemen after Yemeni unification was achieved in 1990. The party was the dominant party in Yemen for several decades, and it survived the 2011 Yemeni Revolution due to Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi's deposition of Saleh. In 2017, the party held 238/301 House of Representatives seats.
